Not A Good Time To Be A Liberal MP.

It ain't heaven to be a part of the good ship HMCS Trudeau these days: morale is said to be very low, with plenty of disillusionment to go around. MPs are frustrated, scared and looking for answers. The big beef seems to be with the PMO: they're seen as giving Poilièvre a pass, just as support for the CPC continues to surge in polling. They want wrecking ball ads in the can against Pierre, but so far, that hasn't happened.

Then there's grumbling about Liberal communications out of the PMO and the ability of the current chief of staff and her boss to right the ship. Some believe Telford is out of her depth, while others even suggest that Trudeau should go for the good of the party and country. 

So, the next caucus retreat is bound to get interesting: MPs are prepared to groan and moan and, to some extent, take on Trudeau, but this Prime Minister seemingly is not known for listening to unsolicited advice, or taking criticism from anyone lightly. MPs report that Trudeau prefers to cut them off rather than hear them out when things get tough.

But in the end, they're likely either to mute their criticisms already made in the press, once they're at the caucus retreat or give up on them entirely. 

Let's face it, there's only one clear ultimatum that can work: MPs would have to give Trudeau at least thirty days to announce his resignation and coming political departure. If not, those same MPs would then have to leave caucus and sit as independents. That's the only way for Liberals to get it done and surprise, surprise, almost no one thinks any of them will actually have the stomach to move it forward when they meet next week in London.
